Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

Dialect. I'm actually aware
Dialect. I'm actually aware of that. Just like Canadian French is not the same as France French or Haitian French or Creole. Languages blend with other languages and oftentimes becomes completely unique to the people/culture that use it.
I'm actually fluent in French (my Mom is French Canadian). I worked for a year next to a guy from Lyons, France.
I didn't understand a bloody word that came out of his mouth.
Or how about the poor Welsh beggar that asked me for some change when I was in London. I couldn't understand him either and he seemed pretty upset that I didn't speak "English". Later on, a fellow I met at the pub said "Oh you have to forgive the Welsh people; after we English subjugated them we stole all their vowels."
